Magic distances in the blockade mechanism of Rydberg p and d states
Benoît Vermersch, Alexander W. Glaetzle, Peter Zoller
We show that the Rydberg blockade mechanism, which is well known in the case of s states, can be significantly different for p and d states due to the van der Waals couplings betwe…
Designing Frustrated Quantum Magnets with Laser-Dressed Rydberg Atoms
Alexander W. Glaetzle, Marcello Dalmonte, Rejish Nath +3
We show how a broad class of lattice spin-1/2 models with angular- and distance-dependent couplings can be realized with cold alkali atoms stored in optical or magnetic trap arrays…
Quantum Spin Ice and dimer models with Rydberg atoms
Alexander W. Glaetzle, Marcello Dalmonte, Rejish Nath +3
Quantum spin ice represents a paradigmatic example on how the physics of frustrated magnets is related to gauge theories. In the present work we address the problem of approximatel…
